English classes that combine grammar, phonetics and conversational skills... but wait don't forget the fun!.

I have 15 years of experience in the field, from working with companies in executive environments to teaching kids. I have always been in love with teaching therefore you can expect my best when it comes to teaching.

I started as a translator and radio operator during a peace-keeping mission in Egypt in 1998 as a member of the MFO (military force and observers) and from then on I have never stopped teaching English, here in Madrid I have worked for VAUGHAN SYSTEMS and WHAT’S UP.
Extra information
I make heavy use of audio and video recording for testing the method's efficacy. This at the same time motivates and invigorates the student. I can teach online or presential.

I teach SCHOOL SUPPORT classes to Primary, ESO and Baccalaureate students. My university training as an ARCHITECT qualifies me for this, and I have been teaching these classes for eight years. I LIKE TO HELP CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. I create a GOOD learning ENVIRONMENT that reminds me of when I had a great teacher, and the students make important progress in passing their subjects.

As for ENGLISH CLASSES, I strive to make my teaching method both INSTRUCTIVE and ENJOYABLE. I usually use both TEXTBOOKS to teach the lessons and MY OWN MATERIAL. I have METHODS, DICTIONARIES and GRAMMARS of various levels. I structure the classes around teaching or reviewing the day's lesson, reviewing the student's exercises and conversation, which I do as fluidly as possible according to the student's level, and always in a pleasant way. If you are a student, with my help, you will pass this subject and get good grades. If you are an ADULT, you will see that with my methods YOU WILL OVERCOME THE TRADITIONAL LANGUAGE BARRIER WITH PLEASURE.

I give classes AT HOME and also in my own home to some of my students who live in my area.

Do not hesitate to contact me :)

Learning Spanish at C1 level is not difficult. Even if it requires some hours of work, I can help you to make them productive, interesting, with clear examples, and above all, good vibes!
You may have to deal with a lot of different verb tenses, different accents from so many countries that have Spanish as their native language, or you may simply want to improve your skills for work. In the hour of work that we will do, rather than focusing on books, we will go out, learn vocabulary and do some day to day activities that will take away your fears of speaking Spanish.

The student will be able to see different places in the capital of Spain without leaving the classroom and learn Spanish. My learning idea is based on interactive activities between my student and me, with word games, card games to improve the syllabi. I will also bring printed exercises for the denser syllabi and for reading comprehension activities in Spanish. We will see a text in which different topics will be discussed and the student must understand what each paragraph says. For this last exercise, I will use the texts and printed images from my printed edition of Guía de Madrid.

This course suggests that we enter a level of English that allows you to deal with your personal life and your professional life. Furthermore, the idea is to be able to talk about the media, to function in different environments. It is also important in this course to think about eating. How nice it is to know how to order a good plate of food or go to a gym knowing how to talk to people. Here you can delve into the different greetings and means of establishing contact with Spanish.

Languages ​​are an important part of society, and learning them doesn't always have to be a struggle! I offer relaxed German and English lessons tailored to each student, addressing their specific needs and challenges. Whether you’re struggling with grammar, want to improve your speaking, need help with schoolwork, or simply want to feel more confident using the language, I’m happy to help! I try to make my lessons feel less like a typical school class and more like a conversation where you can actually practice and enjoy the language. We can work on whatever you find most difficult, using plenty of practical examples and conversation along the way.
I don’t believe that pressure is the right way to learn; it’s repetition and staying at it—while having fun—that make the difference and lead to results!

The object of a typical class is to help you improve your ability to use English confidently with a minimum of errors.
I focus on short reading passages, vocabulary development, grammar structures, listening exercises and oral production including role plays.
I use a variety of materials, ranging from Podcasts to Youtube to published materials with the aim of enabling you to engage with the subject interactively and review your work . For this reason homework is an essential part of my methodology.
Classes do not take place in isolation; continuity is essential, which means vocabulary and grammar are checked both at the end of class and at the beginning of the next.

Do you find it difficult to express yourself in English even though you understand quite a bit? Would you like to speak with more confidence, naturalness, and fluency?

My name is Álvaro and I have experience living in the United States and Ireland, as well as a TEFL – Full Circle 360 qualification specializing in teaching English as a foreign language.

My classes are especially focused on improving oral expression and helping you feel comfortable speaking English in real-life situations.

We will work primarily through:

🗣️ Everyday conversations and situations
💬 Debates and expression of opinions
🎲 Games and activities to help you speak naturally
🎬 Movies, series, videos and songs
🌍 Travel, culture and experiences
🎭 Role plays and real-life situations
📖 Useful vocabulary and expressions to help you communicate better
🔊 Pronunciation and fluency

The idea is for you to speak from the very first minute. During our conversations, I'll correct your mistakes and help you find more natural ways to express yourself, always adapting to your level.

I'm not looking for you to memorize endless vocabulary lists: I want you to learn to use English to truly communicate and gradually lose your fear of speaking.

The classes are fully adapted to your level, interests and goals, whether you are starting out or already have a good level and want to gain fluency.

I am a native English speaker from the UK, and I am currently an undergraduate student in Madrid at IE University. I can offer immersive English lessons for all levels. My lessons would be conducted fully in English in order to make the most of the time. I would focus on speaking and listening; however, we can also focus on writing if that is a goal for the student. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. The lessons can be for conversation practice, homework help and exam prep.
